A Test Panorama on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
Today consisted of attempting panoramas, which was an incredibly enjoyable experience. Not only that, but it also consisted of doing so via the use of a 303 Plus Precision Panoramic head, A lovely piece of kit indeed.
This particular pan is a six-image stitch panned using the twelve interval setting on the head. I would have created the full 360 degree panorama, but capturing only half of a person in the seventh image ruined the seamless connection. Along with this, there is also clipping issues on the ninth image, with a nine image panoramic not uploading for some reason.

This shot didn’t completely turn out how I’d indented. Although this image is completely unedited (as I am for the time being still sticking to not changing the shots in any way), I did preview the shot in Photoshop as to how it would have looked if the foreground had been more silhouetted, then I feel it would have in fact looked like the lower section of the image had in fact been added in post-production, very much so on the far left. However I mainly wanted the effect to take place on the opposite side of the shot to hide many of what I feel are quite distracting and ‘messy’ elements of the composition.

This was taken at the bottom of Bond Street, Brighton, so technically not where I live. Despite that, I’ve always felt I’ve had a connection to the city, being born there and spending a small portion of my life living there. It’s been somewhere I have always admired and been quite fond of.

For this particular shot, I took the more ‘traditional’ approach for the brief; providing only a snippet of the ‘bigger picture’.

This image was taken not too far from my house at all. Again, it doesn’t really show a glimpse of where I live, but something individual and different. Whilst it isn’t directly clear to me, I would quite like to think to the right person this could potentially have a ‘deep artistic meaning’, whatever that truly may be.

Green Grass, Yellow Pages on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
As soon as I saw this, a copy of the Yellow Pages thrown amongst the greenery, I felt it fit the brief rather well. Whilst it may be far from a homage to my home, it shows something odd from the area. Yes, this could of indeed been anywhere, but never again will such a thing be an exact replica.

I would also like to point out that focusing more-so on the background was a deliberate choice. With such a shot, the view would be inclined to focus more on the central object, the subject. However since I didn’t, I feel the viewer would be more incline to physically take a step back, which would of course make the overall clarity seem greater than viewing closer up and to also take a wider look at the shot as a whole.
